We all love to sip champagne and get our friends together. That said, there is an unfortunate misconception that a party must be held around a special occasion. Whether it’s a birthday, an engagement, or a holiday, most of us need reasons to throw a party. But what if it’s just another calendar day and there is no holiday, birthday, or wedding in the near future? Does that mean you’re not allowed to host the most memorable bash ever? No!

I’m a firm believer that you can have a celebration whenever you want, for whatever reason you want. After all, who needs a reason to dance all night? To inspire you to get your host hat out, I’ve come up with 31 reasons to throw a party for no reason. So go ahead: Text your friends, pop the champagne, plate the cheese, and have the most stylish affair around, simply because you can.
